President Joko Widodo of the Republic of Indonesia has sent a congratulatory message to Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan on the occasion of Armenia’s Independence Day. The message states, in part:

“Your Excellency,

On the occasion of the 29th Anniversary of the Independence Day of the Republic of Armenia, on behalf of the Government and the People of the Republic of Indonesia, I wish to express to Your Excellency my sincere congratulations and best wishes to the Government and the People of the Republic of Armenia.

Nowadays, Indonesia and Armenia have maintained the bilateral relations in a very harmonious way based on mutual respect and trust. The two countries have promoted cooperation in the fields of trade and investment, social and cultural, science and technology, higher education, and people to people contact. The latest cooperation framework that we signed on June 2019 in Yerevan was on the science and technology park as well as technology business incubator.

In 2019, the Armenian Governments in cooperation with the Antara News Agency published a book “Armenia, Land of Legends”. I believe the publication will attract more attention from the Indonesian people to visit and to know more about Armenia. In this regard, let me emphasize the need to promote connectivity.

In the area of economic relations, our trade value is growing in a positive trend. For the past five years, the bilateral trade between our countries has recorded an increase by 1.37%. Nonetheless, there are still ample rooms for improvement during and post COVID-19 pandemic.

As we also commemorate our 28th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations this year, I am certain that the existing close ties of friendship and cooperation between two countries will continue to expand and enhance in the years ahead.

Please accept, Your Excellency, the assurances of my highest consideration.”
